Plastics
Materials That Matter
Engineered for tone. Designed to stand out.
We don’t just make pickguards—we build visual upgrades that respect your rig and elevate your style. Most players are used to PVC pickguards: tough, rigid, and common. But when it comes to laser engraving, PVC melts under pressure. That’s why we use 3-ply acrylic plastic—lightweight, flexible, and perfect for high-contrast etching.
Our acrylic pickguards are 2.4mm thick, matching the spec of Fender OEM guards. That means you get the same fit and feel, with way more visual punch.
Why Acrylic Wins
- Laser-etchable: Clean lines, deep contrast, no melting
- Lightweight & flexible: Easy to install, easy on tone
- Durable: Built to handle heat, impact, and stage wear
- 3-ply construction: Adds depth, strength, and visual punch
- Eco-conscious sourcing: Responsibly manufactured materials
- Made in the USA: From raw sheet to finished product
We source our plastics from trusted American suppliers known for quality and sustainability. Every sheet is selected for its clarity, consistency, and compatibility with laser engraving.

| Flexibility | Slightly flexible | Very stiff |
| Thickness | 2.4mm (Fender spec) | Varies, often thicker |
| Visual Impact | High-contrast etching | Limited customization |
